![]() ![]() Too early to experience it in the field yet but I’m not hopeful. Square Terminal has gotten lots of media attention in Japan.AirPay: It’s weird that the cheap AirPay hardware performs better than PAYGATE or stera, it’s even weirder that AirPay performs better than Rakuten Pay which uses the very same reader but is stera shitshow slow.Another ‘you’re holding/doing it wrong,’ when the fault is on the checkout system side. Have of the time it ignores it altogether forcing customers into the 2016 era ‘manually bring up Apple Pay Suica’ authenticate and pay maneuver. PAYGATE: Another payment provider associated with GMO, slightly faster than stera but still slow, PAYGATE does’t like Apple Pay Suica.I teased one store manager about the hard wired JREM FeliCa readers that were swapped out with stera, “Those were too fast,” he said. This is 2014 era ‘you’re holding it wrong’ garbage nonsense. This is followed by the instruction ‘don’t move your device until the reader beeps.’ It’s a 2~4 second wait until it beeps. stera: this lovely little ‘NFC antenna under the screen’ piece of shit from SMBC, GMO and Visa Japan is so slow that checkout staff put their hand over the stera screen/reader to keep customers waiting until the device is ready to go.Convenient though they may be, compared with hard wired NFC reader performance they all suck with different levels of suckiness: All of these systems are built around an Android based reading device connected to the internet payment service via Bluetooth, WiFi or 4G with a main terminal, an iPad or a laptop running POS software. Now that contactless is everywhere, wireless contactless readers have become very fashionable and popular. You too can have the whole transaction world in your hands with the Android based Square Terminal for just ¥46,980
